A fine oil on canvas depicting a room at the splendid Glorup Manor on the Danish island of Funen. The artist, Christian Tilemann-Petersen (1874-1926), has captured an interesting viewpoint from within a games room.

On the left, a snooker table stands before a large painting depicting a scene from Norse history. Tilemann-Petersen has rendered the painting nicely and we’re trying to find out what it represents. While on the right, an open door leads through to a long corridor that’s adorned with artwork - probably portraits.

Christian Tilemann-Petersen had a skill for capturing the mood within quiet interiors and several of his works have appeared at the leading auction houses.
